Have you ever walked into a church service or a church women’s event and felt like you didn’t quite belong?
You love Jesus. You love business. But when you try to talk about scaling, strategy, or success, you feel the energy shift. Maybe you’ve even found yourself shrinking, filtering, or downplaying your ambition just to fit in.
Sister, you are NOT alone.
In today’s episode, I’m sharing my personal story of why this has been such a deep struggle for me—and why so many Christian female entrepreneurs feel like outsiders in faith spaces. We’ll explore the first major reason why church feels hard for high-achieving women and why this disconnect isn’t just in your head.
We’ll cover: ✅ The moment I realized my calling felt too big for church spaces ✅ Why business-minded women often feel unseen or misunderstood in faith communities ✅ How many churches focus on serving inside the four walls but overlook marketplace leaders ✅ The money mindset struggles that make success feel almost unholy ✅ Biblical proof that business, leadership, and wealth-building ARE Kingdom work
🔥 God is raising up women who don’t just fit in traditional ministry spaces—He’s calling us to create new ones.

If this resonated, share it with another faith-driven CEO who needs this reminder.
